Student Registration

Please read the instructions below and have all your materials and information ready before you start the registration process.
Registration opens October 11, 2017. Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on January 29, 2018. Late submissions will not be accepted.

You may elect to make an oral presentation, a poster presentation or a creative arts presentation.

Students must work with a faculty mentor/advisor before submitting an abstract. You will be required to submit information about your faculty mentor when you register:

Name

Department

Mentor/Advisor Email

Your personal information will be required including your college and major.

All entries must have an abstract written by the student and reviewed/edited by his/her faculty mentor. Mentors should not write the abstract, but guide the student in developing the abstract.

Statement of the methods (research that utilizes existing/secondary data sets is acceptable)

Essential results or outcomes

Conclusion or summary (initial or preliminary results /data are acceptable)

Creative Arts and Performance abstracts must contain a short description of the piece with a summary of the process by which you created your work. Process is how you put what you have learned and researched into your performance or artwork. A sculptor could talk about media, a composer could talk about musical influences, an actor could talk about rehearsal techniques like Meisner or Viewpoints.

Only one student can be listed as the first author; additional students can be listed as co-author(s). A student can be first author on only one abstract. However, there is no limit to the number of abstracts on which a student is a co-author.

Group presentations are defined as having two or more student authors. If a group's presentation scores are high enough to receive an award, award funds will be divided equally based upon the number of participants in that group.

Duplicate abstracts submitted by different authors will be automatically rejected.

Work must be proofread prior to submission. SRS staff will not edit abstracts.

You must upload a PDF of your abstract at the time you register; have it ready before you start the registration process. Be sure to include the presentation title and your name at the top of the page above the abstract. If you don’t know how to make a PDF from Word or PowerPoint, go to the "Make a PDF" page for instructions. Uploading a Word document is not acceptable.
